SUNY Old Westbury hosts an annual Student Research Day each spring. Through oral, poster, media and art presentations or exhibits, students showcase the results of their research and creativity. These academic and artistic achievements represent the effort of in-class assignments and out-of-class experiences conducted with faculty. More than 100 students participate in Student Research Day each year.  Research Day is sponsored by the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and the School of Business.  

The 2025 SUNY Old Westbury Student Research Day will be held on Thursday, April 17th.

This annual event celebrates students’ academic and creative accomplishments and provides students the opportunity to share their work with the campus community. To participate, students must be sponsored by a faculty member, and all abstracts must be faculty-approved before submission.
